The words "Paperless Office" conjures up an image in most peoples minds of employees standing in front of a high-speed document scanners feeding reams of paper into an amorphous ether-land. For some companies, this is realty. For most businesses, the paperless office is mostly about looking at ways to more easily and affordably work and share information. In this course, we will explore all ends of the paperless spectrum--from no-cost, low-cost electronic document production solutions to middle ground application and distribution platforms to pricier, high end document archival systems. Our bias will be the lower-tier solutions because that's what we chose for our own businesses and what most businesses can readily implement today.
